Part 2. Three Additional Ways to Bypass Lock Screen When Locked Out of Android Phone

Apart from third-party Android phone unlocking software, there are many ways you can use to remove the lock screen when you're locked out of Android phone. In this section, we will share with you four simple methods to assist you to unlock your Android phone and access it as soon as possible. Now let's take a look together!

Here's how to perform a factory reset to unlock your Android phone when it's locked:

Step 1. Power off.

Step 2. Press the volume up/down (as "Up/Down") and the power buttons (as "OK") to enter the Recovery Mode.

Step 3. Then select Wipe data/factory reset.

Step 4. Select Factory data reset > Reboot system now to start the data reset process.

Find My Device

In addition to a factory reset, you are also able to use a third-party website to unlock your Android phone remotely. With Find My Device, you don't need to connect your locked phone to a computer. And you can bypass the lock screen without losing data. But the Location service and the Find My Service feature shall be enabled on your locked phone, or this service is not available for you.

Here's how to bypass the lock screen when you get locked out of Android device:

Step 1. Navigate to the Find My Device website on your browser.

Step 2. Sign in with your Google Account.

Step 3. Select your locked Android device.

The Forgot Pattern Service

In this part, we will explain how to take advantage of the Forgot Pattern feature to bypass the lock screen of an Android phone. This method is quite simple but limited. In fact, the Forgot Pattern feature is only preserved on Android 4.4 and lower versions. So it is not available on Android 5 Lollipop and higher. You are able to get your Google account back if you forget the account or password by learning: "How to Unlock Android Phone With Google Account."

Here's how:

Step 1. Enter the passcode on the screen enough times until the Forgot Pattern feature appears on the screen.

Step 2. Now tap Forgot pattern > Enter Google Account details to continue.

Step 3. On the next screen, enter your Google Email address and password.
